Forma Adventure Boots Review

- These are my nearly new Forma Adventure Boots. a
About three weeks old now and worn to / at work all day every day. They are an incredibly comfortable boot on and off the bike, fully waterproof and a very nice looking boot too. Highly recommended. That was my BMW GSA in the background by the way. Cheers, John
Bought a pair after I saw this review. They are the best. I'm no motocross racer so I feel very comfortable that the protection is adequate for my riding. They offer plenty of room for my wide feet, something I have a real problem with. I struggle to find boots that are made wide. And I could hike in these boots all day. A Big toe box but, a minor adjustment to my 250l and Shadow shifters and I was ready to go.
Nice review. I Love the Forma, I wear full motocross boots for enduro. But on a big 3 to 4 week desert trip they get too heavy. Sure they provide more protection( highger chance of ankle injury doing enduro), on desert trips they certainly protect the shins and feet from high speed rock deflection. They protect like everything there is always a form of compromise.
They are stylish easy to clean and are super comfy. Good review. Adam.
These boots are perfect for basic road and offroad riding on my BMW R1150GSA. Comfort is perfect, armor is very good.
Best review of the boots I've seen. I actually want a pair of the shorter ones. I only ride on-road.
We have to know what motorbiking we actually do. I agree these are not enough protection for feisty off-roading but I only tractor around greenlanes at 15mph. 90% of my riding needs waterproof, sturdy cover biking boots for fenland lanes and these are a lot better than my £55 RXL ankle boots.
Thanks for the review John. Looking at some Gaerne Balanced Oiled Boots and came across these. Will definitely give these a look as well.
Hi Michel, my feet are normal to narrow and I found these boots a very good fit. I would suggest trying on before making a purchase.
Good boot for mainly on road with a bit of light off roading. Sounds like they would make a good touring boot.
Excellent review! Thank you!!
thank you for the info.like them boots think i will buy a pair.cheers.
Nice Review.
Thanks
Thanx for the review! But - after 4 yrs what would your review be today? I'm looking to replace my old G-boots that are, eeerrrrr, falling apart )))
Looks very comfy, but it looks like it falls short when it comes to impact protection and rigidity around the ankle.
Cheers mate.
Curious about sizing... I've Spada St's and they are a 44 (or 9.5) and a good fit, but are completely dead, I've wide feet and wondering if you have to go up a size?
Good review. Because the toes are so high, I've heard some people having trouble getting their toes underneath the gear lever to change gear. Could you see that happening to some?
I found this at first, but yo soon get used to it.
Great review
Great review 👍
Hello from Spain,
Question about Forma Adventure Boots.
I live in an area were it is about 25º C (77º F ) to 32º C ( 89º F) all (!) year round
Questions:How do the Boots behave in that temperature ?
Do you sweat a lot wearing them during the Summertime ?
Thank you.

Hola! The Forma Boots are lighter than most and have a breathable inner membrane so ventilation is OK button not amazing. I've recently worn Alpinestars Tech 3 and now wear Sidi Adventure Goretex and Forma are somewhere in between. Not the best, but not bad.
John Carr thankx John
Hi John and thank you for your very usefull review. I've wide feet and wondering if you have to go up a size than your usual shoes size? Thank you in advance.
Hi, they're pretty wide but I would try first.
Has anyone compared these to the Gaerne Balanced Oiled Boot? I like that these boots fit under pants but not sure the Gaerne Balanced Oiled Boot will.

Is the liner breathable? Gore tex is, what about this one?
Note that the PLASTIC straps on the boot shown are actually sewn into the leather seams. That's a deal-breaker to me. I have a pair of earlier Gaernes which are made that way. The plastic piece became brittle and broke off right where it is sewn in. Not repairable, because the sewn-in plastic parts are not available. Wasted an otherwise perfectly good pair of little-used boots.
So after two years how did the boots last and do you still use them or did you switch it up
Let us know pls
I eventually sold the Formas in favour of some Sidi Adventure Goretex that came along at a great price. That's not to say there were any problems with the Formas but the Sidi offered more protection and better weather protection, the Sidi liner comes higher up inside the boot. I would still recommend Forma boots.
Hi, I found a pair of Sidi Adventure Goretex on line for a very good price and swapped. Having said that I would still recommend Forma and would have another pair.
love the bird shit on the mirror haha, thumbs up alone for that mate ! And size 46 !!! ??? Are you a goliath ?
You know that's like a UK size 11 right?
Carrick Dubya The sizes for boots seem to be all over the place. I just got some Sidis and I ordered a 44 but they were labeled as a 10 US. I needed 45 for a 10.5 US I guess.
Nice boots, even nicer bike!😂
those are damn hot--do you still have em???
Hi Justin, I swapped them for a pair of Sidi Adventure Goretex, both great boots.
@@JohnCarr43 hey thanx--those were so hot
how waterproof are they
Hi Derrick, I found them completely waterproof but the liner doesn't go all the way up. It stops level with the top clasp.

A - HA!!!
I have found these boots to be useless in the wet. First pair replaced after leaking badly during their first time out in the rain and the second pair exactly the same.
+Peter O'Connell Interesting. Enough to put me off, Peter.
Pants/trousers over the boot or under?
Those are bikers boots
nice boot but about as much protection as my £20 dunlop riggers
Clean the mirror before shooting the video Dude!
Hey Julio, the mirror was outdoors because it was heading for the trash and the video was very much boots, mirror, iPhone, why not??? It definitely won't win an Oscar, I'm surprised that so many people have watched.
